Ukraine

Re : the anti Semitic flyers, does anybody believe they could be a part of a CIA black ops, seeing as John Brennan (CIA director) just visited Kiev - or was the whole thing a bit rubbish for the CIA to be involved in it? Bearing in mind lots of people (according to the 'trending' section on Facebook) do actually believe it and media outlets like USA Today and CNN are reporting it as fact.

its certainly a handy way of having people forget the side your supporting comprise a lot of neo nazis . Anf of framing it as a battle between good and evil . Its not so much the flyer itself , its the manner in which it seems to have been produced for international consumption and is being so heavily promoted by the US state department that gives rise to such suspicions. As youve pointed out . But we may probably never know .
 
6 Royal Canadian Air Force F/A-18 fighters, and four French Air Force Rafalé fighters to Poland and 6 RAF Typhoon fighters (in two weeks) to the Baltics to replace the 6 USAF F-15C fighters sent to reinforce the NATO Baltic Air Policing Task in March. the Royal Danish Air Force will also send four F-16 fighters to the BAPT, as well as keeping two further F-16's ready as reinforcements, should they be needed, in Denmark. the Polish Air Force will complete the make up of the task group with four MiG-29 fighters.

Turkey will deploy at least one tanker aircraft, and France has sent an E-3F AWACS aircraft to augment the NATO AEW task group flying over Poland and Romania.

in addition, 20 additional Canadian staff officers to NATO HQ.

Considering the amount of shit that was published across Ukraine it seems a bit weird that the west is focusing on this in such great detail.
 
as regards the criticisms of the British medias take on Ukraine weve had on this thread, according to this RT article the good people of Dalston in north east London arent all that impressed with it either, or their politicians.
WORLDbytes, a citizen TV channel, hit the streets of London to gather residents' views on the situation in Ukraine. 'View on the Streets: Ukraine' found that the majority of those asked don't believe the version of events reported by mainstream UK media.

The TV channel asked people in the northeast London neighborhood of Dalston – a multicultural area considered to be left of center in its politics – about their opinions regarding Ukraine.

OK I jumped into this thread after studiously avoiding it for reasons mentioned in fez's "have you engaged in the Ukraine thread" thread. This was the first post I stop at. You read and quote spiked online?

Now I know I'd best disregard anything you say
 
Am I right in thinking tensions are reducing now?
Is Putin less likely to move his forces into Ukraine now, if this is the case?

BREAKING: German state tv blames ukraine opposition for massacre at maidan

Seven weeks after the deadly gunfire in Kiev, that discharged the government of president Victor Janukowitsch, there are many indices, that the official version about the Maidan happenings are very probably untrue. According to inquiries of the WDR-magazin Monitor (german state tv ARD), it is very unprobably, that the government was responsible for the gunfire on demonstrants. Last week the Attorny General and the coup regime of Ukraine blamed the Berkut-units for the massacre. According to the police, 12 members of this unit were arrested and will accoused for mass murder.
Now, the german state tv asked a senior member of the investigation team on maidan massacre, who denied the allegations of ukraine coup regime. "My findings are disagree with official statements by government and attorny-generalship", he said to Monitor.
There are also audio recordings of radiocommunications between snipers by president Janukowitsch who were stationed on the roofstops in the centre of Kiev. The conversations between the snipers were recorded by a radio ham:
"Who is shooting?", asked a member another sniper.
"The man was shot dead by someone, but not by a member from us.", answered the other member.
Then the same member asked the other sniper: "Are there more snipers? Who are they?"

Gunfire out of Hotel Ukraina
According monitor, there are videos, which show demonstrants, how they were fired not only from the direction of government facilities but also from direction of the Hotel Ukraina, that was in the back of the demonstrants. According to an eyewitness, who was on that day near the hotel and also near government facilites, he confirmed the happenings. "Somebody fired at us in our back, from the eigth or ninth floor of the Hotel Ukraina. They were surely professional's." Many journalists resided there and the hotel was completely in the hands of opposition member's. In the morning of 20 th. Febr. the hotel let only poeple in the facility who had a key for a room.

Advocates have no information's
According to advocates by family member's and wounded demonstrants they blamed the attorny generalship. They have no information's about the happenings. "We didn't heard, which guns were used, we have no access to surveys, we got no plan's of actions by Berkut-units, no investigation papers.", a victim said. "We can't say, what happened and can't also approve the version's of attorny generalship (Svoboda). One advocate said: "The generalship don't investigate in correct ways. They protect their member's, they are partisan like in the soviet union."

The complete report about the ARD-investigation will published at this evening in the first german state tv.

That's bollox!
For a start, if there was a TV equivalent of The Sun on German TV it'd be on RTL2, Pro7 or SAT1 or any of the other boulevard shit houses. Secondly, they'd have shown some scantly clad blondes from Right Sector modelling this years AKs.

It's probably on a par with (and certainly no more sensationalist than) say Panorama.

I was taking you seriously up to this point :rolleyes:
 
Its won shit loads of prestigious awards as well. I think Fuchs66 just wanted to pour some doubt on its claims, by making up some bullshit. Which is quite ironic.
